4664.0. "Lynx version that supports cookies?" by OTOOA::kap901.kao.dec.com::trimble () Fri May 09 1997 12:32

Is there a version of the Lynx browser that supports cookies?

Thanks,

Jason Trimble

    Lynx 2.7, which was released early this year, added cookie support. 
    And it works (for the most part).  Really.  It runs nicely on my
    ancient BSDI box.
    
    http://lynx.browser.org is where the current maintainer lives.

Thanks...  Found Lynx 2.7.1 which includes Cookies and SSL support 
which is exactly what I was looking for!

Now to try and compile it on DU 4.0...

4664.3Compiled on Unix, now how about VMS???OTOOA::kap901.kao.dec.com::trimbleWed May 14 1997 14:5214
I successfully compiled Lynx 2.7.1, with SSL support even,
 on Digital Unix 4.0.

Now my challenge is to compile it on VAX/VMS.  I'm currently trying
to compile the SSLeay 0.6.6 library on a VMS 7.1 system with DECC 5.5
and not having a lot of luck.  It seems to be hanging on the MD 
module in the Crypto library.  Has anyone else compiled SSLeay on 
VMS?  It is possible that it just takes this module a very long time
to compile, but its been going for 2 hours now on a VAX 4000-200.

Thanks,

Jason

    Not an answer, but...
    
    There is a pre-compiled 2.7 (not 2.7.1) for OpenVMS VAX available via
    DECnet from MISERY""::SYS$SYSTEM:LYNX-2-7_VAX.EXE
    
    $ DIR MISERY""::SYS$SYSTEM:LYNX-2-7_VAX.EXE/DATE/SIZE
    
    Directory MISERY""::SYS$COMMON:[SYSEXE]
    
    LYNX-2-7_VAX.EXE;1      1338   6-MAR-1997 12:27:12.00

4664.5Need SSLOTOOA::kap901.kao.dec.com::trimbleWed May 21 1997 16:4410
Need a version which has SSL compiled in too.  Anyone have
that?

I get problems compiling the SSLeay kit, in the Crypto 
part the compiler hangs on the MD and the SHA sections.

Jason
